Chapter 309: Chapter 310 Rewards in the Palace

Chu Nanli had really not expected that Lin Fuying would have found out about this matter.

Fortunately, just this point alone could not prove anything.

Lin Fuying obviously could not mention such private matters openly in front of Ye Yunting.

She merely implied it with a sentence, then hesitated before saying, "I am just too worried about my sister’s health. Even if sister is angry with Yunting, she shouldn’t take it out on her own body."

Lin Fuying had always been like this, subtly causing discord once again.

Her "sensible" behavior made Chu Nanli seem even more capricious.

"I don’t need your false concern. If it weren’t for you, how could I have lost my child?"

The mention of the "lost" child appropriately brought anger and grief to Chu Nanli’s face.

"As for my health being so weak, isn’t the Prince the clearest about it?"

If it were not for Ye Yunting’s attitude, how could the original host have experienced such painful ordeal?

She really didn’t understand how Yunting could brazenly say that from now on, it should be as if nothing had happened.

Even if the original host were here, she likely wouldn’t be able to accept his words.

"That was just a bastard."

Ye Yunting’s casual remark intensified the pain in Chu Nanli’s heart.

This was the emotion of the original host.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking at Ye Yunting, "Indeed, since the Prince doesn’t care about the child, then it’s better to divorce."

"After all, in the Prince’s heart now, I am not worthy of the Princess Consort’s position. Why not separate amicably?"

"Don’t even think about it!"

Ye Yunting had never deeply explored why he was unwilling to divorce.

He only knew that upon hearing the word divorce, a resistant emotion subconsciously arose in his heart.

How could such a disgraceful matter as a divorce occur in the War King Residence!

"Yunting, don’t be mad at sister. She probably just spoke out of confusion when she mentioned divorce."

Lin Fuying felt a surge of anxiety and could not help but speak.

"I had already arranged it early. Sister, why don’t you stay at the Prince Residence for dinner?"

She unequivocally assumed the role of the lady of the house. If it were the former Chu Nanli seeing her like this, she would already be heartbroken.

And the dinner prepared in advance was her second move for today.

She had specifically sent Xiaoyun out to inquire and had prepared dishes that were rich in strong scents.

If Chu Nanli showed any abnormality at that time, Lin Fuying could be certain of her suspicion.

However, her plan would not go as smoothly as she imagined.

Having seen Bai Wuheng appear just now, Chu Nanli had already made up her mind.

If she stayed in the War King Residence, she would definitely be calculated against by Lin Fuying using other methods.

She must find a way to leave.

"A meal? I’m afraid this is no good banquet!"

Chu Nanli coldly glanced at Lin Fuying. Even though she had already seen through Lin Fuying’s scheming, she still could not point it out.

Letting Lin Fuying know that she had seen through her probing,

would that not indirectly admit the fact that she was pregnant?

"Furthermore, as I see it, this War King Residence doesn’t seem very welcoming to me."

"Besides, with regards to the previous agreement with the Prince, surely the Prince wouldn’t want to be seen as a deceitful scoundrel again, would he?"

She hadn’t brought this up before, but upon mentioning it, Ye Yunting’s expression immediately grew even darker.

If it were not for Bai Wuheng, why would he have agreed to Chu Nanli’s proposal?

Now, it has instead put me in a constraining position.

"Moreover, as I see it, the Noble Consort Yang Shu doesn’t seem to want me to stay in the Prince Residence."

She looked towards the pile of things bestowed by Yang Shu with a mocking smile on her lips.

"Had I known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have needed to come to the War King Residence today, right?"

Ye Yunting’s face showed that he was having difficulty maintaining his composure, "Perhaps the Imperial Mother merely overlooked."

He knew that Yang Shu never liked Chu Nanli, but he hadn’t expected her to make it so overt this time.

Was this to make sure the Emperor couldn’t fail to notice?

What the Emperor most wanted to see now was harmony.

If the matter of the Noble Consort belittling Chu Nanli reached the Emperor’s ears, even with her favor, it could provoke the Emperor’s displeasure.

"That’s not the first or second time the Noble Consort has been negligent," he retorted.

"Rather than worrying that I might slip up, the Prince should be more careful about other matters."

Chu Nanli stood up with a cold face.

The way she looked was clearly incensed by Yang Shu’s disregard.

"Now that the people from the palace have all gone back, I have fulfilled what the Prince asked of me. If the Prince wants me to stay, could it be to discuss our separation?"

"If the Prince is willing to discuss, why don’t we draft the separation papers right now?"

Chu Nanli looked calmly at Ye Yunting.

Compared to a divorce, what was more pressing was to get away.

If she continued to stay at the War King Residence, who knows what schemes Lin Fuying might have behind her back.

"You may leave now!"

It must be said, Chu Nanli had indeed hit Ye Yunting’s sore spot.

Given his concern for face, he could not force Chu Nanli to stay.

All he could do was let her leave.

"Yunting, brother, it’s all Yingying’s fault."

Lin Fuying hadn’t expected that Chu Nanli would really just leave like that.

She quickly realized her mistake and guiltily said, "Had I known sister minded so much, after arranging everything today, I should have hidden myself in the courtyard and avoided sister’s eyes. Sister must still be holding onto the past and did not want to see me."

"It’s clearly the Noble Consort’s favoritism she minds!"

Ye Yunting snorted coldly, his heart not as furious as he outwardly appeared.

In his eyes, the fact that Chu Nanli cared so much about not receiving the Noble Consort’s favor also meant she cared about him on some level.

"Yunting, brother, I’m genuinely worried about sister’s health. If it weren’t for my sickness, sister might still have been able to keep the baby."

"These days, I see sister’s complexion is even worse than when she was first diagnosed with pregnancy."

Lin Fuying said this, not to evoke Ye Yunting’s pity for Chu Nanli,

but to subtly remind him that Chu Nanli had once betrayed him.

"Since she insists on moving out, why should I care about her life or death!"

Thinking of that illegitimate child, Ye Yunting’s mood darkened even more.

Given his personality, knowing someone had betrayed him, it was merciful not to have claimed their life immediately.

But when he first found out about Chu Nanli’s pregnancy, he was only annoyed and lacked murderous intent.

For him, this was indeed strange.

"Even if she were to die out there, it would have nothing to do with me!"

Recalling the initial events, Ye Yunting’s mood worsened further.

Understanding the principle of quitting while ahead, Lin Fuying wisely did not further provoke his relationship with Chu Nanli.
